Sharing Trips

Share Your Plans#

Every trip you create in Tiki Tours can be shared publicly with a single toggle. Shared trips generate a permanent link that anyone can view — no account required. This is how you get your tramping group on the same page before a trip, or share a trip report with the wider community.

How to Share a Trip#

1. Open the trip you want to share from your Trips tab
2. Toggle "Share Publicly" — this generates a unique URL for your trip
3. Copy the link and send it however you like — email, WhatsApp, Messenger, or text

The shared view shows your full itinerary, map, stops, notes, and DOC data for each location. Viewers can browse but cannot edit — only you have edit access.

QR Codes#

Every shared trip also generates a QR code that you can:

• Screenshot and print — stick it on a noticeboard at a DOC visitor centre or your local tramping club
• Share in presentations — useful for guided groups or club trip briefings
• Include in printed trip plans — scan to open the live version with the latest data

The QR code links to the same URL as the shareable link, so anyone who scans it sees the current version of your trip.

Embedding#

If you run a blog, club website, or social media page, you can embed a link to your shared trip. The link generates a rich preview card with the trip name, region, duration, and a map thumbnail — so it looks great when pasted into Facebook, Twitter, or Slack.

Managing Shared Trips#

• Unshare at any time — toggle sharing off and the public link stops working immediately
• Edit after sharing — changes you make are reflected in the shared view automatically
• Delete a trip — the shared link returns a 404. No cached copies remain.

Privacy#

Shared trips show your display name and the trip content. They do not reveal your email, account details, or any private trips. You control exactly which trips are public.
